Beautiful 45 Ft. DIY Coach Bus Conversion for Semi-Retired Couple

[@TinyHomeTours]

Is a coach bus something you are considering for your tiny home?

[@radicalgreek99]

I did look at a few but The prices were the same as buying a house.

[@LacroixCruiser]

@@radicalgreek99 we built this for under $75k, plus our time

[@1982MCI]

@@LacroixCruiser what was the initial cost of the bus and was it already converted to an rv prior to you buying it to where you just needed to remodel to your taste and style instead of starting with a shell? Great video! Thank you so much!! Do you travel around the US a good bit helping retailers or do you have a certain schedule you stick too? A friend of mine is a detailer and trying to get a successful business going.

[@LacroixCruiser]

@@1982MCI we payed 20k for the bus, and it was previously converted, but we stripped it out completely to start over again. We travel anywhere to teach, and do one on one coaching.

[@1982MCI]

@@LacroixCruiser thank you for the reply. Reason I was asking is because I’m looking at one myself right now that’s just right down the road. It’s also an MCI but it’s an MCI 7 or 8 I believe and is a little bit older than what yours is. It has been converted but it will need to be stripped and redone cause it’s in rough shape as far as the interior goes. It runs like a dream but it’s tires are out of date cause it’s been sitting so long. It also needs airbags replaced but he does have new ones already but just need installed. Its been sitting about 8 years or so since they’ve done anything with it. They were living in it while they were building their house and once it was finished, they moved into the house and let the bus sit there. It could be a good bus again but needs major work to get it there and I didn’t know how to price it cause prices are all over the board. He said he wanted to try to get $10k but I still think that’s high because I’m worried about all of the suspension from it sitting that long. Anyways, hopefully I can find something I can work with. I can do all interior rebuild myself and some mechanical but on the bigger stuff like suspension, I need to have someone do that. The buses are harder to come by now than what they were before this virus shut us all down. And the ones I am finding have doubled in price. Hopefully I can find one and get it finished similar to yours and I’ll see you out on the road somewhere! Take care and be safe out there!! Thank you for your guidance, I appreciate it!!

It's bigger than the bathroom in my home as well... Only another 22 more years of mortgage to go, and this small, non moving bathroom will be all mine.

[@darrenstibbard6773]

I’ve seen a lot of bus conversions but I think the thought on this one is by far the best. The Berkie integration in the kitchen. The large kitchen, the office/bedroom great idea and the large bathroom. I also like the coat closet at the front door. So many things we’ll thought out. Great job!

This is our home, and Comfort is important to us.

[@evil7011]

@@LacroixCruiser couldn't agree more. One major factor is comfort for me specially bathroom, I am a tall guy. When I saw all the pre build or diy ones they look cozy butt, when it comes to bathroom 🚽, nope.. NO. It's either a child size one tucked under something or there a separate room but way too small. When was watching your the video and saw the bathroom, I was like : THAT'S IT.. that's one done right. I hope can build my own mobile home one day and copy your bathroom design.

The safety features are something most people don't really think about when building their bus. This is very well thought out based on their previous bus ownership. The details are where the organization comes into play. This bus by far is the best build I've seen.

[@mjremy2605]

Bonjour Yvan et Sylvie! C'est tres beau, votre maison roulettes. Love the sleek and quality build. The wood is beautiful. I think you might find a deeper sink does not splash water our so much and a large, deep, rectangular sink will sell the bus faster if you decide to upgrade. It adds value. I also bought shallow sinks, then regretted it and changed to deep and large. No need for farmhouse apron sinks - something undermounted is fine. I am so glad you said that about the Induction cooktop! I dislike it too. A lack of options with that and enormous power use. 6:07 - Love those cabinet hinges! Looks like pricey Blum type. Would love to know where you got them? What a lovely appliance garage! Better than my house, ha ha!. Bet those rollup doors came from IKEA? Looks great. Smart idea to refill Berkey from the top of cabinet! This is genius. Love the engine access panel, good design! Great office table too, nice and big and multi use bedroom space, smart! The Tire Pressure Monitoring System is a life saver and the single most important thing after the engine. I have constant issues with tires and must get one. Good install. The basement storage is mind boggling. You have a whole city system in there! 21:53 - The SEM Pro-Tex Bed Liner is a urethane liner that is tint-able. I've been looking for one that is tint-able but not an epoxy, identical to Durabak18 which is not tint-able. Durabak18 is flexible, polyurethane, moisture cured. If this one is similar, I will be thrilled. Any info anyone? Durabak company is a pain to deal with and are not forthcoming with technical info on tinting, which leaves me disappointed. I'd love to find a substitute paint. Thank you for this tour! I learned a lot from you both. Bon Voyage!

[@LacroixCruiser]

Thank you! For the sink we had a larger one in a previous bus, but prefer the smaller round sink for water conservation. The cabinet hinges come from Ikea, the tambour door is from Richelieu.

After watching a lot of these type of videos,I must say,this is the best yet. Simple,no hippy type decorations,and no expensive high tech crap either. Nice to see a converter that doesn't feel like you're in the amozon forest. Plants hanging everywhere,no pets sleeping in your bed. Just a no nonsence way of living,and I really love a bathroom that's more than ten inches wide. And has a real toilet! Congrats on your way of living. Stay safe!!! Also,finally a bus that doesn't make you feel like you're in Las Vegas all the time,with crazy lighting all over the place.

[@LacroixCruiser]

Thank you, we enjoy simplicity.

[@guygalt1102]

I've watched dozens or even hundreds of tiny house and van/bus conversion videos and I enjoy seeing the clever and "hip" things the generally younger crowd has done, but this bus is the first one that caused me to sit up and take serious notice. I guess it takes one "gray beard" 🧙‍♂ to know what will please another "gray beard." 🧙‍♂ And the cherry on the top (literally Bing cherry red, in your case) is the bed liner topcoat, which I've actually thought of putting on my car but chickened out. Thanks for the enlightening tour. Cheers to you both. 🥂

[@ayden3461]

I love the bus. This guy and his wife thought through the design and were able to preserve the windows, which is nice because they have so much view. The only thing that stood out was the electrical fuse box, which can be updated to make it easier to determine which fuse controls what.

I have great appreciation for them both as genuine human beings and I wish I was on the road with them. They truly love what they do. God bless them on their travels.

[@stonedog23]

Lol, just because a sink is large, it doesn’t have to use up “more” water if you don’t try and fill it up. The projector is cool, but I prefer a tv irregardless of it blocking the view. And I was confused about the explanation of the fresh water tank in correlation to the waste water tank. Great bus though! It’s beautiful.

[@LacroixCruiser]

Thank you. Our fresh tank is 10 gallons less than our waste tank. If the fresh is empty it’s because the waste tank is full. We rather run out of water than overflow the waste tank.

One of the best comfort buses I have ever seen.

Thank you.

The interior looks like the inside of a professional RV. It almost looks like Newmar built this. Very nice.

Thank you.

This is the best thought out design I have ran across. Yes could in here. Wonderful lay out. Very little not thought of. Good luck on your journey.

Thank you, what was your favourite feature?

I love what you did with the Berkey. My parents had one for as long as I can remember. My mom still uses one.
